Trackside Sadler Fans’ Meet & Greet!

Well, since Trackside starts at 6 pm on Friday night – and since we have a healthy contingent of Sadler fans planning to attend – what a great place for us to have an unofficial meet & greet!

We’ll be gathering near the Trackside stage around about 5ish depending on Elliott’s qualifying time. Can’t miss us – we’re the ones with the waffles! (had to pick something obvious that would stand out in a crowd)! Those of you who’ve IM’d or emailed me should have my cell #, give me a call or email for a number if you need to!

Before our “meet & greet” though – I’d like to propose a “truce” of sorts. Humor me, here. As everyone knows, Sadler fans are stretched across many friendly - and some NOT so friendly - forums, blogs, IM’s, chat groups, profile sites, etc. As humans do – we form friendships and often bicker, bitch, snipe, dig and gossip about one another. Some have waged full-fledge warfare. We have some SOLID friendships out there, as well as some obviously hurt feelings within our ranks.

For THIS event, dear friends and foes, may we leave ALL baggage in the parking lot, all animosity in the car, all bickering and innuendo at home and all enmity on another planet? Let’s try to find our COMMON denominators as Sadler fans for this one event and save the unpleasantries for another time. Grind the axes elsewhere. None of us get anywhere NEAR enough time with our long-distance friends or at the track – wasting that valuable time on trivial disagreements is NOT how I want to spend these precious 4 days!

We have all the time in the world to battle it out online throughout the season. As I’ve seen, even the most ardent online opponents can become great friends if given a chance. Compromise creates respect, respect spawns understanding, understanding breeds tolerance, and tolerance builds character.


I was gonna post the lyrics to Lennon’s “Give Peace a Chance” – but I’ve crossed WAAAAY over the Kumbaya limit here and I’m even making MYSELF sick! LOL!

See ya at TMS!
